Hey, guys! It’s Aiko Hemingway. I am an American English pronunciation coach and business coach based in Hawaii, USA. I came to the US from Japan when I was 23 years old, and I did not speak English well and had a hard time in the US communicating with native English speakers. I realized how important pronunciation basics were in my 6th year in the US, and I took accent reduction lessons, learned linguistics, phonetics and intonation study at UCLA, and took singing lessons in order to improve my English. Now I help Japanese speakers, who are in an American English environment, improve their English pronunciation effectively. 50% of my clients are English coaches, English pronunciation coaches, English teachers, and educators.
